Knitting, Baking, Grading, and Inspiration, all at once

Several things:

One: I just realized that on Ravelry, you can upload pictures from your computer. I no longer need to freak out about my Flickr account. On Flickr, the free account only holds 200 pictures. Because of Ravelry, I am almost near that magic number.

Two: I cast on the Judi & Co. Rococo (or is it Rayon Rococo) in Sizzle. I'm using US 11 needles, casted on 40, and doing a lovely garter stitch back and forth. This is rather simple knitting. I'm loving it.Three: I had a Banana Bread Mix. It required an oven, 1/4 cup oil, 1 cup water, and 2 eggs. Since the measuring cup was in the sink ... I guessed on the water, threw in two very ripe, very mushy smushy bananas, and a handful of chocolate chips. C'est magnifique!
Four: I need to do a ton of grading tomorrow. Grr.
Five: I need to get my hands on a stitch dictionary. Like now. This is what I want to knit. When J was on his phone, I happened to look at the base of the nearest lamp post. (We were by the 81st street subway station). Wow. Wouldn't that look awesome in a sweater or a scarf?

A sock, a sock, my kingdom for a sock!

Guess what I finished yesterday?

One of my girlfriends had tapestry needles on hand *and* a copy of Stitch 'N Bitch. With the tapestry needle and the step-by-step instructions for grafting I was able to finish sock 1 of the Monkey Socks. And it fits beautifully!

And if Glenna C ever hosts a webinar on Using Your Own Feet to Model Knitted Socks, I would totally take it.
